Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Conor O'Connell:

Absolutely. There are more than 100 applications to Project Tosaigh. If one considers the models, which are in their infancy, that have delivered, particularly apartment units, as the Senator mentioned, approved housing bodies in recent years have developed very good cost rental models that have three staged payments. That model reduces the finance costs, de-risks the development completely and delivers a more affordable product. That type of model recognises the practicality of the funding requirements for us that will work and deliver.
